I just brough a second-hand of RaQ3i which is operate the Cobalt OS 6.0 (512Ram, 12G hdd, CPU 300); What is my first task for the machine? Where I can find the latest patch for it? e.g. security patch...
I heard someone it can be upgrade the patch automatically and send the notice email for the administrator. Really??

Try getting a Fully Patched version of the CD restore disc and do the patching. AFter that log onto www.cobaltsupport.com for third party upgrades.
After that install things like Tripwire, PortSentry, ClamAV etc etc

Can I directly use the latest RaQ4i for restore the OS?

Yes, I believe it will run as the hardware for the RaQ3 and RaQ4 are roughly similiar.

The RaQ4 OS should install fine on the RaQ3.
If you try to install the 550 OS, you have to upgrade the ROM-but it may be worthwhile in the long run, as it is the latest OS.
The "automatic patch upgrading" was a feature called BlueLinQ. Since Sun no longer makes any RaQ's I don't know if they are still running this service.
